Book Covers

[murphy]

I love when a book has a good cover. I'm sure I have purchased several books just due to the excellent cover. The series that really stands out to me as having good covers is Jim Butcher's Codex Alera series. a series that I really enjoyed that had terrible cover art in my opinion was David Coe's Winds of the Forelands. I loved the books but I can't help but think that if he had Butcher's cover artist he would of sold a lot more books. I also liked Erikson's Gardens of the Moon cover.

There have been several covers of Gardens of the Moon. Which one did you like?

Here are a couple from an Ace Double of Jack Vance stories. The artist is Jack Gaughan. The style is typical, I think for the period (mid 1960s). Sorry the condition of the covers isn't better.

Heh i was looking to buy that double from ebay not so long ago.

The first cover, the aliens looks very mysterious,badass. I gotta get this version that book.

If you wanna get rid of those books you know where to go

[Connavar]

Dossouye a collection Sword and Sorcery stories set in ancient alternate Africa by Charles.R Saunders. The title name is after the female hero of the stories.

He is a bit famous for Imaro from 70s,80s. A quality S&S series who has a rare African fantasy setting based on ancient African history.

Wrap around Conans. Ken Kelly does the honors, I'm fairly certain.

This is why I keep my distance from sf conventions. Women fighting over me every time I walk into a room!
Art by Edward Valigursky.

I have the collected works of Imaro but yes, do tell us who the artist of that cover is for the Dossouye collection, it's absolutely stunning and such vibrant colurs!
